I just finished to build he frame, and here is my observations:
1. Paint choice consequences (part my responsibility). This is the most frustrating part of the build: I had to sand the paint the seat post a lot to make it enter into the frame. Moreover, it was also really hard to put the shifters on the handlebar, I had to destroy the paint at the curve of the handlebar. Solution: only paint the upper side of the seatpost, and only paint the stem and the part of the handlebar from the stem until the shifters clamp area.
2. Handlebar design. I find two issues: it was impossible to pass the cable inside the stem, and there is not enough space underneath the stem for the 4 cables to pass without being squeezed. I could not pass the shifting wire while the handlebar was installed. Hopefully, I manage to make it work. It took me a lot of experimentation to find the solution haha.
3. I am not a fan on the design of the derailleur hanger with the double screw system.
Basically, I spent a lot of time (a few days more than my usual builds) because of the paint, but it looks gorgeous otherwise
